SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning! When using electric tools, the following
basic safety precautions should always be taken to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury. Read all these instructions before attempting to
operate this product and save these instructions.
For safe operation:
• We recommend that you take appropriate measures
for the protection of hearing if the sound pressure of
85 dB (A) is exceeded.
• Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite injuries.
• Consider work area environment. Do not expose
power tools or chargers to rain. Do not use power
tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well
lit. Do not use power tools in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
• Guard against electric shock. Avoid body contact
with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerators).
• Keep children away. Do not let visitors touch the
tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept
away from work area.
• Store idle tools. When not in use, tools and batteries
should be stored in a dry, high or locked place, out
of reach of children.
• Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and
more safely at the rate for which it was intended.
• Use the right tool. Do not force small tools or
attachments to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do
not use tools for purposes not intended; for example,
do not use a circular saw to cut tree limbs or logs!
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery as they can be caught in moving parts.
Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask if the
cutting operation is dusty or if using in enclosed spaces.
• Secure your work. Use clamps or a vice to hold your
work. It is safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate the tool.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and
clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before switching it on.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry a
tool with a finger on the switch.
• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate when you are tired.
• Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised service
centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorised service agent. Do not use the tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
• Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment,
other than recommended in this instruction manual,
may present a risk of personal injury.
• Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified
persons using original spare parts, otherwise
considerable danger to the user may result.
• This electrical appliance is in accordance with the
relevant standards.
Charger plug and cable
• Do not tug at the cable to pull the plug from the socket.
• Make sure the cable is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges
and rough surfaces and always ensure it is in
good condition.
ADDITIONAL DRILL AND CHARGER SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Danger! 240 volts are present at the charging
terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects or
you will risk an electric shock.
• Danger! If the energy pack case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert into the charger or you will
risk an electric shock.
• The charger is designed for indoor use only.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to a Black & Decker authorised repairer.
• Never attempt to connect two chargers together.
• Always disconnect the supply before making or
breaking connections to the battery.
• Be aware that this tool is always in an operating
condition, because it does not have to be plugged
Cordless drills user manual
5
ENGLISH
into an electrical outlet. Keep the switch control
lever in the “Off” position when the tool is not in use
or when changing accessories.
• When drilling or driving screws into walls, floors
etc., check wherever “live” electrical wires may be
encountered. Do not touch any front metal parts of
the tool! Hold the tool only by the plastic housing.
• Do not store the tool in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 50˚C (120˚F) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
• Do not incinerate the drill/driver even if it is severely
damaged or completely worn out. The battery pack
can explode in a fire.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may
occur under extreme usage, charging or temperature
conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if
the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your
skin:
• Wash quickly with soap and water.
• Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon juice
or vinegar.
• If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and
seek immediate medical attention.
(Medical note: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.)
• Do not attempt to open the housing of your drill or
charger.
• The supply cord of the charger should not be
replaced by the customer; if the cord is damaged it
should be replaced at an authorised Black & Decker
service repair agent.
• Ensure that the battery pack is correct for the tool.
• Ensure that the outside surface of the battery pack or
tool is clean and dry before plugging into the charger.
• Ensure that the battery is charged using the correct
charger provided with the tool or recommended by
the manufacturer. Incorrect use may result in a risk
of electric shock, overheating or leakage of
corrosive liquid from the battery.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Save these instructions!
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on the
rating plate.
EXTENSION CABLES
Up to 30m (100ft) of Black & Decker 1.00mm
2
, 2-core
extension cable (or 3-core extension cordset, in
Australia and New Zealand) can be used without
undue loss of power.
Note: An extension cable should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension
cable could result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
If an extension cable must be used, make sure it is
properly wired, contains the correct rated fuse as
recommended in its literature and is in good
electrical condition.
UNWANTED TOOLS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

ACCESSORIES
Black & Decker offer a complete range of screwdriver
and drill bits. We recommend that only Black & Decker
accessories are used. To enhance the performance of
your drill further we recommend the use of Bullet drill
bits. Please consult your local Black & Decker dealer
for details.
EXTRA BATTERIES
You can buy an extra battery to increase the run time
of your drill. Only use a Black & Decker battery of the
same voltage as your drill. You may choose a high
capacity battery, which will maximise the run time of
your drill but will also take more time to charge.
TECHNICAL DATA
The level of sound pressure of the tool is in accordance
with EEC legislation. It is recommended that you take
appropriate measures for the protection of your hearing
if the sound level seems uncomfortable. This normally
equates to a sound pressure in excess of 85dB (A).
Note: This user manual also covers catalogue
numbers ending with a letter suffix. Refer to your
carton for details of your product.

VARIABLE SPEED
Your drill has a variable
speed trigger switch.
The more the trigger
switch is depressed, the
higher the speed of your
drill. If your drill has a
gear ratio selector, the
change in speed is controlled continuously using the
trigger switch or in two stages using the gear ratio
selector. The maximum speed achieved using the trigger
switch depends on the gear ratio selector setting.
BRAKE
The brake switch stops the rotation of the chuck in
less than 1 second. This feature is useful when
adjusting the seating of screws, and for driving
quickly a large number of screws.
GEAR RATIO SELECTOR
To change the setting of the gear ratio selector,
proceed as follows:
To select the low speed
setting (screwdriving
and high torque
applications), slide the
selector switch to the
front position. The
number ‘1’ appears.
To select the high speed setting (drilling and hammer
drilling), slide the selector switch to the rear position.
The number ‘2’ appears. If necessary, when
changing the gear ratio, depress the trigger switch
sufficiently to rotate the chuck slowly.
Warning! Do not change gear when the chuck is
rotating at other than low speed.
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT COLLAR
To select non-masonry drilling, rotate the collar until
the drill symbol is in line with the indicator on the top
of your drill housing.
The torque adjustment collar has 23 positions and
provides adjustment of the torque necessary to seat
screws of a given size in a particular material.
Proceed as follows:
Set the torque
adjustment collar to
position ‘1’.
Fit and tighten the first
screw. If the clutch of
your drill starts to slip
before the screw is
ENGLISH
correctly seated, rotate the torque adjustment collar,
as necessary, until the clutch slips when the head of
the screw is flush with the surface of the material.
Use this torque setting when fitting the remaining
screws.
FAST CHARGER AND DETACHABLE BATTERY PACK
Your drill has a fast charger and detachable battery
pack. To increase the availability of your drill you can
purchase an additional battery pack.
Your drill is fitted with a long lasting pack from
Black & Decker which offers 25% more run time than
our standard range.
CHARGING YOUR CORDLESS DRILL
Important! The battery pack in your drill is not
charged when supplied as new. A new battery, or
one which has not been used for an extended period,
achieves full performance only after approximately
5 charging and discharging cycles. Before
attempting to charge your drill, read all the safety
instructions. To charge your drill, proceed as follows:
Put the forward/reverse switch in the centre (lock-
off) position. Remove
all accessories from the
chuck. To remove the
battery pack, depress
the two release buttons
and withdraw the
battery pack. Plug the
charger into a standard
220/240 V socket. Place
the battery pack in the
charger. While
charging, your battery
pack may hum and
become warm to the
touch; this is normal.
After normal usage your power pack should be fully
charged in 3 hours or less. If your power pack is run-
down completely it may take up to 8 hours to
become fully charged. Your power pack was sent
from the factory in an uncharged condition; before
attempting to use it, it must be charged for at least
6 hours.
To prolong your power packs’ life, avoid leaving it on
charge for more than 8 hours. Although
overcharging is not a safety concern, it can reduce
the overall life of your power pack.
8
ENGLISH
Disconnect the plug from the electricity supply
before making or breaking connections to the battery
pack. For the longest battery life, charge the battery
pack in an air temperature of approximately 24°C/
75°F. Do not charge the battery pack if the air
temperature is below 5°C/41°F or above 35°C/95°F.
The charger can remain in the electrical socket
indefinitely without adverse effect. If the battery
pack does not charge correctly, check the supply at
the electrical socket with a lamp or other appliance.
If the electricity supply is satisfactory and your drill
is still not charging, take or send your drill and
charger to your local Black & Decker authorised
repair agent.
FITTING THE DRILL OR SCREWDRIVER BIT
(2 SLEEVE CHUCK)
Make sure the forward/reverse switch is in the
centre (lock-off) position. While holding the rear
section of the chuck, rotate the front section until the
jaws of the chuck are sufficiently open.
Insert the drill bit in the
jaws of the chuck. Hold
the rear section of the
chuck while tightening
the front section.
Tighten the two sections
firmly in opposite directions to securely grip the drill bit.
SINGLE SLEEVE CHUCK (AUTOMATIC SPINDLE LOCK)
Should your drill be fitted with a single sleeve chuck,
you can tighten or loosen the drill bit by firmly
holding your drill with one hand and the chuck with
the other. This will give you 25% more gripping power
on the accessory.
Once the jaws are
unlocked, opening or
closing them can be
easily done by spinning
the chuck around with
one hand whilst holding
the drill bit with the other.
CHANGING THE CHUCK
Make sure the forward/reverse switch is set to the
centre (lock-off) position.
To remove the chuck, open the jaws, hold it firmly in
one hand and with a screwdriver held in the other hand,
turn the set-screw in the chuck clockwise
approximately one turn, to loosen it.
Place an allen key in
the chuck and tighten
the jaws. Give the allen
key a short powerful
blow in an anti-
clockwise direction
with a hammer to
loosen the chuck on the
spindle. Remove the
allen key. Use the screwdriver to turn the set-screw
clockwise until it totally disengages from the spindle.
Remove the chuck from the spindle by rotating it
anti-clockwise. To fasten the chuck, put it on the
thread and turn it clockwise until it stops. Put in the
screw and turn it anti-clockwise until absolutely firm.
HANDY HINTS
• Clamp the workpiece securely.
• When drilling thin material, use a ‘back up’ block
to prevent damage to the workpiece when the drill
breaks through. Just before the tip breaks through
to the opposite side, decrease the pressure on the
drill; this will give a clean hole.
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• When using your drill as a screwdriver, always
use the correct size and type of screwdriver bit.
• When using your drill as a screwdriver, lubricating
the screws can assist in fitting the screw. The
usual lubricants are either soap or washing liquid.
Apply a little to the screw.
• When drilling wood, use twist drill bits.
• When drilling metal, use high speed twist drill bits.
• When drilling ferrous metals, use a lubricant. Iron
and brass are drilled without a lubricant.
• Make an indentation with a centre punch at the centre
of the required hole. This will improve the accuracy.
• Always apply pressure in a straight line with the
drill bit.
TOOL CARE
Do not put excessive pressure on your drill. Use
sufficient pressure to keep your drill/driver biting, but
do not push hard enough to stall the motor. After use,
remove the drill bit, open the chuck jaws fully and tap
the side of the chuck to remove any sawdust.

ENGLISH
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Black & Decker cordless tools use nickel
cadmium (NiCad) batteries or battery packs
which can be charged many times to give long
life and repeatedly full power.
Cd
This symbol indicates the NiCad batteries
contained within this unit must be disposed of
properly and not discarded in everyday
household waste which may be disposed of in
an incinerator or landfill site. NiCad batteries can
be harmful to the environment and can explode
when exposed to fire.
Do not incinerate.
Therefore, when your tool or battery pack
needs replacing, think of the protection of our
environment.
Black & Decker recommends the following:
• Discharge batteries completely by running
the unit until the energy is completely
discharged and then remove from the tool.
• Take the battery pack to your local dealer or
your local recycling station. If necessary,
contact your local council for disposal
information. The collected batteries will be
disposed of properly and/or used for
recycling purposes whilst protecting the
environment.
Note: You as a customer are responsible for
proper disposal or recycling of the battery
pack.
